Capiz Shell & More

This shellfish is named after Capiz, one of the five provinces of Panay Island, located 375 miles southwest of Manila.  Capiz is a pearl oyster, commonly known as "Kapis,"  with the scientific name Placuna Placenta, is a bivalve mollusk, commercially and economically important because of its translucent shell. In the 1500s, during the Filipino Spain period, these shells were used for windowpanes on houses.

Laminated Capiz products are truly works of art as they are handmade by Filipino craftmen. Art and modern science evolved a process whereby the finest quality shells are hand-selected, processed and laminated to produce a unique and highly ornate surfacing ideal for housewares, tableware and gift items. ​
